Incoming! 5711 “Piano Dial”
Frequent lurker here; occasional poster. Just wanted to share some joy with some like-minded folks...
It has been a great week here as I got the call from my AD on Monday that my 5711/1a-011 arrived! He overnighted it to my home for delivery for Tuesday morning, and I have been in an exceptionally good mood since! I absolutely love this watch. Like many others on this forum, I was hot after the 5711 in blue. I went to a grey market dealer to try it on, and it pretty much melted on my wrist. So comfortable and much more elegant in the flesh than in pics. My AD said that blue was pretty much impossible, but he might be able to do the white dial. I had seen one on 47th Street, and I did like that one, too. I would say I am equally happy if not happier with the white, so I’m glad it worked out that way. The dial is so clean and vibrant. It isn’t the pure paper white that comes out in a lot of photos; it’s more of a discreetly metallic light silver, with the Snow White coming out in certain types of light. It looks gorgeous in dim light, as the lume activates and makes the markers a bit green against that dark white. I love how the dial plays with the lighting in general. This piece is going to play right away, as I plan on flying on business to Asia with it next week. Without further ado, here are some pics. I am an awful photographer, but it isn’t hard to take good pics of this beauty... |

Agree with everything you said, the white dial is just far more interesting than the blue. (Before the recent price - supply madness) I had the choice between the two and chose the white dial.
Enjoy it. |

Thanks all! I think this watch has gotten me into taking pictures! Now I just need to learn how to take good pictures.
Today, I realized that I should really take a picture of my new “Piano Dial” Nautilus with a piano. The idea may be better than the execution, but here’s my attempt: |
